Is It Normal To Feel Constipated After Embryo Transfer Procedure?

I have recently done IVF, I had my embryo transfer today (two day 5 blasts). I have been feeling very constipated. I tried magnesium and drinking lots of water, also eating fruits. Nothing has worked. Today I decided to do an over the counter enema, this finally worked. Do you think this will affect implantation? Is there a chance it could have expelled the embryos?

constipation could be due to the procedure itself, there is nothing to worry about . On the counter enema is ok but try natural foods like oats, atta and fruits and other fibre vegetables at least 3-4 times a day. straining while defeacating, coughing can cause problems in implantation. So avoid straining.
